Great question. They are actually pretty useless. You can't transport criminals, you can't use them in missions that need a cop car, like the Prison break prep. You need one to trigger the vigilante missions, but there's no practical reason to buy more than one. I just wanted them all 🤣😎👍
BRILLIANT consumer info vid mate! Sadly I already had the Gauntlet from when that came out with Clucking Bell, and now even more sadly they've nerfed the resale value to zero so I'm kinda stuck with it lol. What I've done is I've gone for the Gauntlet and the Mustang as "interceptor" versions of muscle cars and stuck them in that garage, especially as I had a friend in high school that had an old foxbody 5.0 that he yanked the engine out of and crammed a 351 Interceptor motor from a cop car into. That thing was an absolute BEAST lol. Honestly I think the foxbody actually works better as a converted-into-a-musclecar than an outright cop car... it's still useable for the job stuff but otherwise is just a delight to cruise around in and look like someone willingly wearing an ugly gold medallion with an open necked silk shirt. The movie cars I've got the Greenwood Blues Mobile (obviously) and for the 80's Impala I'm gonna make the yellow one from one of the best car chases in movie history - To Live and Die in LA. Shame we can't get a taxi version of it, the car chase in Running Scared is criminally underrated (check it out on YT if you've never seen the movie). Now I've seen this, I might have to eat the four million and dump the Gauntlet for the red-headed step child, it looks like it would be WAY more fun to actually use lol. Sigh.
Hey, it's a service I offer :) I'm so jealous of the swaps you guys could do. The best I can do to match your mate is one of mine who only had one hand, but he also had a Ford Fiesta XR2, not the XR2i, the old, square XR2, so that kind of made up for the digit deficiency. He took the (enormous at the time) 1.6 litre out and replaced it with a gargantuan (at the time) 2 litre, that is as wild as it got in Yorkshire in the 90's, bearing in mind at this point, I had a 1.2 lite Vauxhall Astra. God it's depressing. Anyway, a bit of trivia for you, I know you like that. The song I used for the red headed step child is called 'Let's get ugly' by a band called Pop Will Eat Itself, I saw them play in Sheffield, pretty sure my body is still processing the alcohol consumed. Anyway, Their Drummer, Fuzz Townsend, (who was also the drummer for 'The Wonder Stuff' - look up 'The Size of a Cow', great song), anyway, he now has a restoration shop and a show in the UK called 'Car SOS' Look it up, you'll probably enjoy it, a lot of restoring of crappy old British cars that no one, other than their owners, care about. It's brilliant, like Pimp My Ride, but they do a good job and don't have NDAs.
@@perengerin LOL I have actually heard of Pop Will Eat Itself! And I will def look up Car SOS, I've not seen a decent brit car show since For The Love of Cars. And I have friends in your neighborhood lol. One of my oldest internet friends works at John Smiths, he does IT and last time I checked he was also a beer taster. Got an even better swap story for ya lol - friend of mine named Steve way back when bought a 600 hp 1970 Camaro race car, then found another 70 Camaro in a junkyard for a couple of hundred bucks, swapped the vin plates out, and registered the monster as a junkyard car resto-mod so he could drive it on the road. He took me for a ride in it, told me to watch the fuel gauge, and floored it. Felt and sounded like a volcano going off, and the only car I have ever actually seen the gas drain out of visibly. Burned an 8th of a tank in a half a mile 🤣.
Oh you'd never get away with that here. If a cars over 60 years old it doesn't need an annual MOT test, but if it's heavily modified, it needs a special test called an IVA which is even tougher than the standard MOT, another mate took 3 attempts to get his brand new kit car through, failed on things like indicators too low, not enough visibility in wing mirrors. It was a bloody track car, road legal but a track car. If your mate needs an assistant, tell him to look me up. I'm very experienced at beer tasting, call me an enthusiastic amateur who is ready to turn pro.
That does make more sense. I'd always called it the L.E., I can't remember who I watched that said it was different. We'll go back - L.E. it is 😎👍. Thanks for watching.
@@BlargBlarg-z7k Please don't get me thinking!.... You're going to make me buy another one and I can't give up my bluesmobile 😎 But I suppose if I'm gonna drop $30m on cop cars, might as well make it $33m 😢
have a question
can you use them to transport the criminals? like the van or only the van can transport those bounties?

the Stanier LE Cruiser is not "LE Cruiser" its "L.E. Cruiser" or Law Enforcement Cruiser.
also... the Greenwood is an exact replica of a 1978 Plymouth Police cruiser which was the police cruiser used in the Dukes of Hazzard.
